A diversion from debt ceiling drama: Wanna gather examples of racism during the "Palin Summer"?

The summer of the presidential campaign, especially once McCain and Palin started making their rounds and The Tea Party started to form, saw a huge upsurge in what I feel was overt racism and sometimes bigotry.

A relative denies this -- and often denies that racism and bigotry even exist -- so I want to get a compilation together of the Greatest Hits.

If you can post links to images, articles, blogs, etc. that detailed some of the most memorable remarks and signs, I'd appreciate it.

:hi:

2. Thanks It turns out there are entirely too many examples via The Google...

I thought it was going to be a chore to gather the evidence, but there are so many examples of racism and bigotry by the Tea Party/Palin Mobs that I don't think I CAN gather it into one document.

Sad, but true.

:(

5. And carrying toy monkeys with them to rallies.

Pictures of that can be found I'm sure.
